Those who do not like jeans, for example, will simply fall back on another type of pants, or skirts&#8230; the important thing, however, is to be clear that the easiest way to have a wardrobe that is versatile and suitable for all circumstances is for it to contain a good number of basics.<\/p>\n\n<div id=\"ez-toc-container\" class=\"ez-toc-v2_0_73 counter-hierarchy ez-toc-counter ez-toc-grey

are basic garments?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n<p>It is those items of clothing that form the background, the base in fact, of any properly functioning wardrobe.<\/p>\n\n<p>We can think of them as the connective tissue that allows the most original garments with the most character not to steal each other&#8217;s thunder, the most ordinary ones to always have something to match, that allows a sequin skirt to be used for daytime, a lime green sweater not to be too loud, that allows us to dress up in the morning by creating tested combinations, to which we only need to add a few original touches to imprint them with our personality and style.<\/p>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-large-font-size\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_to_tell_if_a_garment_is_basic_or_not\"><\/span>How to tell if a garment is basic or not?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n<p>A basic garment is by definition simple, undecorated, possibly in a neutral color or one that blends easily with others.<\/p>\n\n<p>A T-shirt with lettering and designs is not basic; a white, or black, or gray, or mariniere-striped T-shirt is.<\/p>\n\n<p>A shirt with embroidery or optical prints is not basic; a white or blue shirt is basic.<\/p>\n\n<p>Of course, precisely because they are simple and predictable, basics are at their best when they are of good quality, good cut, in a nice fabric. You don&#8217;t need high-fashion brands, but a quality natural fabric, well-made seams, and a cut that falls well are indispensable.<\/p>\n\n<p>To go back to our white T-shirt, if the collar is slabby, the fabric semi-transparent, the sleeves badly cut, there is no fancy dress to wear it with that I will be able to lift the outfit; if, on the other hand, it is made of good heavy cotton, with double stitching on the collar, with a good cut, it will make even the simplest of jeans (which by the way, are another basic garment) look elegant.<\/p>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-large-font-size\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"So_what_are_the_basics_for_autumn_winter\"><\/span>So what are the basics for autumn winter?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"White_T-shirt\"><\/span>White T-shirt<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n<p>It&#8217;s fine in other colors too (black, gray, blue, striped), but the white one is really a passepartout, giving a modern touch even when it comes out only a few inches from the neck of a shirt or out of pants. Also to be had in multiple versions, short or long sleeve, round or V-neck.<\/p>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"564\" height=\"923\" src=\"https:\/\/thelifeofclothes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/white-t-shirt.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-595\" srcset=\"https:\/\/thelifeofclothes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/white-t-shirt.jpeg 564w, https:\/\/thelifeofclothes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/white-t-shirt-480x786.jpeg 480w\" sizes=\"(min-width: 0px) and (max-width: 480px) 480px, (min-width: 481px) 564px, 100vw\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"><em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pinterest.it\/\" data-type=\"link\" data-id=\"https:\/\/www.pinterest.it\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Pinterest<\/a> source.<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Mens_shirt\"><\/span>Men&#8217;s shirt<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n<p>If the t-shirt is useful for downplaying and making the most difficult garments more casual, the masculine shirt, white or light blue, adds a note of modern elegance to even the simplest garments.

The colors can be various: black, blue, cream, beige and gray are the most suitable, precisely because they do not chase seasonal trends, so they are good shoulders for more trendy garments or colors.<\/p>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"564\" height=\"789\" src=\"https:\/\/thelifeofclothes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/jumper.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-599\" srcset=\"https:\/\/thelifeofclothes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/jumper.jpeg 564w, https:\/\/thelifeofclothes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/jumper-480x671.jpeg 480w\" sizes=\"(min-width: 0px) and (max-width: 480px) 480px, (min-width: 481px) 564px, 100vw\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"><em><em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pinterest.it\/\" data-type=\"link\" data-id=\"https:\/\/www.pinterest.it\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Pinterest<\/a> source.<\/em><\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Jeans\"><\/span>Jeans<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n<p>Jeans are basic when they don&#8217;t have rips, embellishments, embroidery, overly special washes.

Before launching into bolder purchases, my advice would be to have at least one coat that functions as a basic: again it can be in black, gray, blue, a shade of camel, possibly impeccably cut, loose enough to accommodate even some somewhat bulky knits, with or without a waist belt, in a warm and beautiful fabric (cashmere or wool and cashmere blend). <\/p>\n\n<p>A quality coat can cost a lot, but you can look for it in sales, or second-hand, and certainly, if kept carefully, it can last many years, so better to invest in the best quality you can afford.<\/p>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"564\" height=\"846\" src=\"https:\/\/thelifeofclothes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/coat-1.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-605\" srcset=\"https:\/\/thelifeofclothes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/coat-1.jpeg 564w, https:\/\/thelifeofclothes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/coat-1-480x720.jpeg 480w\" sizes=\"(min-width: 0px) and (max-width: 480px) 480px, (min-width: 481px) 564px, 100vw\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"><em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pinterest.it\/\" target=\"_blank\" data-type=\"link\" data-id=\"https:\/\/www.pinterest.it\/\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Pinterest<\/a> source.<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n<p>To these garments I would add some knee-high, smooth, wide-heel boots with a somewhat soft shaft, in black or brown, some loafers with a masculine flavor, some white sneakers and that&#8217;s it.<\/p>\n\n<p>On this base you can add a <a href=\"https:\/\/thelifeofclothes.com\/en\/the-power-of-accessories-in-creating-personal-style\/\" target=\"_blank\" data-type=\"link\" data-id=\"https:\/\/thelifeofclothes.com\/il-potere-degli-accessori-nella-creazione-di-uno-stile-personale\/\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">few accessories<\/a>, a colorful bag or gloves, a few more distinctive garments, and you practically have a small winter capsule ready, capable of coping with most everyday circumstances.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>What basics can&#8217;t be missed in women&#8217;s wardrobe for autumn-winter, how to choose them and what details to pay attention to?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":602,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_et_pb_use_builder":"off","_et_pb_old_content":"","_et_gb_content_width":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[23],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-612","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-personal-style-en"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/thelifeofclothes.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/612","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/thelifeofclothes.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/thelifeofclothes.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/thelifeofclothes.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/thelifeofclothes.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=612"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/thelifeofclothes.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/612\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":621,"href":"https:\/\/thelifeofclothes.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/612\/revisions\/621"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/thelifeofclothes.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/602"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/thelifeofclothes.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=612"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/thelifeofclothes.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=612"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/thelifeofclothes.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=612"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
